A story, good enough to bo true, is

to liavon high-toned society whero theio
is no aristocracy."
"Whit do you mean by aristocracy 1"
n lad' asked.
"Wliy-aw-you-know ; I mean ten
thousand peoplo who livo iiuywhcro and
lmvo nothing to do."
"As for that," lcplicd tho lady, "wo
liavo such it class too, but wo call them
tramps."
Tho answer was something moro tnnn
nolito chaflini:. Thcro is it world of
difference, on tho scoio of comfort nnd
cleanliness, between living unywhero
with nothing to do, backed by n fortuno
Miflicicnt to make life a ptstimc, nnd
doing tho samo with n beggar's wnllotj
still, in spito of tho superficial contrast,
the moral difi'orencois not so ciy great.
Tho man whoso only claim to consideia
tion rests upon tho circumstances that
tho clmiico of iuhciitnnco has mndo him
ablo to gratify his selfish desiics without
personally making nny return to tho
world for what lie onjove, is not intrin
sically nobler, nor doos hy roally play it
much nobler part iu life, than ho who
lazily sponged it precarious o.xistcuco
from those who lmvo enough to provide
for themselves. Tho world owes neither
a living, and tho fortuno of tho richer
only udds to his moral obligation to do
Romothing useful with tho superior
means nt his command.
Tho idea that it man's merit is iu pro
portion to tho cost of his keeping nnd
tho unproductiveness of his lifo has
never tlnivcn in this country; und it
has always been common for young men
of inhoritcd wealth to tako nn nctivo
part in tho world's real work. In tho
industrial, as well as the pro
fessional world, honorable success lias
boon won through manly exertion by
many a young man who might liavo
squandered his timo and fortuno in
idleness or worse. And if tho tendency
of flush times had been to cultivator
different spirit among tho sons of tho
suddenly rich, the financial overturning
of thu past livo yours liavo shown fur
too plainly the risk nttending a jouth of
dainty idleness to givo tho vicious
tendencies much encouragement Indeed
tho popular current seems rather to bo
strongly setting in tho opposite direction
and it is quite tho fashion now for young
men of wealth to striko out for thorn
solves, patticularly in now nnd non-pro-fcsKional
f.olds.
From Maino to Oregon, from Michi
gan to Texas, young men of wealth and
culture, men who might bo idlers moro
society men nnd nothing moro nro to
bo tound among tho ranks of tho doers,
using their fortunes only to help them to
larger and moro productive labors than
tho ompty-handod could undertake A

of tho sons of tho wealthy residents und

Agricultural pursuits "attracts tho most
of them. Soveral aro managing farms.
Two liavo gone into tho market garden
ing aud mill: business, and aro making
it pay. Two aro dovouting their timo
to thn raising of poultry on a large scale.
Such undertakings in' tho vicinity of
the centers of population, wealth, and
culture, mo moro likely to result satis
factory and profitably than shoep or
cattlo breeding in the South or "VWt,
hithorto the moro popular occupations of
adventurous and nctivo young men of
wealth, sin co thoy do not necessitate tho
abandonment of the enjoyments and ad
vantages of sooicty nnd friends. Tho
East is full of opportunities for men of
energy and means to mako monoy by
outdoor operations, and, r.t tho samo
time, to improvo immcnsoly tho con
dition and character of countiy lifo. Tho
drift of young men of spirit "nnd educa
tion has too long been toward tho cities.
It lies iu tho power of tho lcadora of tho
now fashion to sot tho current in tlio
opposito direction, vastly to tho benefit
of both city nnd country.

Cheap Living in Italy.
There are many curious and murestine
features of Italian lifr, its people, etc.,
mat we should like to ay something
about, did spacv and time permit. It is
a charming country to live in for those
who caie to do nothing; for it is the best
country to loaf in I ever saw. Loafing is
quite a respectable occupation, and a great
many adopt the calling. The principle
occupation ol the women, particularly in
all towns and cities, appears to be that ol

to he there all day long, and when they
perform their household duties it would

RENEWED PROSPERITY.
Through nil tho business nnd manu
facturing circles of tho nation, north nnd
south, east and west, comes tho leport of
lenowcd nctnities nnd busy industries.
Tlio cotton nnd woolen mills of Now
England nro miming full time, with
moio orders than they can fill. Many
nro running over time, nnd many that
have stood idle mo now giving unem
ployed hands full occupation. Tho iron
intciests of Pennsylvania, tho manufact
uring interests of tho wholo nation, nro
spiinging into activity, not it spasmotio
notion either, for tho oxperienco of tlio
past has mado men prudent, but it is
evident that tho commercial equilibrium
is restored and stock on hand reduced so
that' business iutcrcsts comnienco on n
now and safer basis than Las been known
in many years. This state of things is
set forth in numerous accounts from tho
tmde centers of thirty-ones States, from
places that leprescnt tho chief maun
fact m ing intcicnts and tho leading in
dustries, and tho nlmo3t universal report
is of n lovivnl of businca in nil branches.
It is lcprescntcd, too, that this now
ncliity is based on actual demand aud
not on speculation. Business men liavo
gone Mow for ycais, havo l educed stocks
and woikcd oir nil surplus. Manufac
tories lmvo woiked on uliort timo or
stopped onliicly, country nici chant!) havo
sold down to tho lowest figure nnd peoplo
nt largo hino practiced economy that has
mado trado dull, but mado finances
easier. This course, pursued for several
years, has brought us to tho timo when
over production has ceased. It is now
only necessary to equal! production
and consumption, und to find employ
ment for all who wnnt work, to secure
equal prosperity through our country,
it Mould scorn, too, that this con
dition of things should prevail in Enron,
but it is feared that English industries
can not soon rcsumo thoir former activ
ity. Our prosperity is dopondont a
groat doal upen that of tho mother
country, for our surplus products must
find a market thero or stay on our hands.
Wo aro becoming independent of mother
England in tho lino of manufactured
goods, and if she cannot pay in trado sho
cannot buy. If sho cannot find mar
kets for her wares sho cannot buy our
bread and meat, nnd this ospcoialiy in
terests us hero in Oregon, whore our
chief resource is shipping grain to tho
United Kingdom, llowovor, tho revi
val of manufacturing intorcsts cannot
fail to advantage England also, nnd wo
may therefore liopo that our brcadstuffa
will not go begging after linrvcit. Tlio
revival iu tho wool trado alonn is worth
over half a million to Oregon wool
growers, and that half a million dollars
is a god scud just at this season.
Operatives at tho East complain that
they aro receiving lower wages limn ovor
beforo iu tho United States, but com
parison of prices with wages shows that
tho wages paid now hive greater pur
chasing power than the wages paiil in
inflated currency, with inllatod pi ices,
for years back. So tho pay is actually
increased.
Eastorn Oregon und Washington will
dcrivo great benefits from tho rovivul of
trado, ns it sends them customers for
thoir wool nnd cattle. Tho stock driven
East this Spring iscotnputod ut 100,000
head, which at a fair prico will not tho
stock men nearly a million and it half,
besides which the immigiation that
pours in furnishes a market for all their
pioduots. Tho wool clip to bo shipped
from tho Columbia river this Summer,
at present prices, will figuro up a mil
lion and a half tOjtwo million dollars,
and it will bo thus seen that our Spring
sales for foreign markets will reach an
ng!;regato that exceeds uny former year.
All things considered, wo havo our sharo
in tho general prosperity.
TIMES IN CALIFORNIA.
From all that wo learn tho peoplo of

a business point of viow. Times nro hard

othors hitch their horses or mules to tho

und journey towurd tho Oregon lino, for
every publication of Southern Oregon
nowspapers announces tho advent of Cal
ifornia emigrants. Prom the cities comes
information of bouses to lent and de
preciation of property. It is said that
it thousand houses aro unoccupied in San
Francisco and rents havo decreased,
whilo no sales ran bo had for property
at anything like it fair prico, Ono singu
lar fact about property in San Francisco
is that tho houses vacant aro of tho
better class, which conveys tho idea that
many peoplo who havo beou in comfort
ablo circumstances nro now i educed to
humbler positions, no doubt in conse
quence of stock speculations and losses
resulting therefrom. Tho condition of
our own Stato is not satisfactory, as wo
must confess to a money stringency and
hard times as a consequence of Rcant
ciops und prices last jcar, but the future
promises well for us, better than for our
neighbors in California, for w o havo no
fictitious mining wealth to deceivo us,
nnd our natural iesources nio moro re

steady progress here. Our production
will bo larger tho present .war and one
nuue-uiion or substantial iidvarta'e wer
have over California is, that whilo San
Francisco stands still nnd has a thousand
vacant houses wo see n thousand houses
